ANYONE HERE WHO HAS THE P182, IM FINDING IT HARD TO SCREW ON THE HARD DRIVE IN THE HARD DRIVE CAGE, NONE OF THE SCREWS FIT THROUGH THE TWO HOLES SO THAT THEY CAN BE TIGHTENED ON THE HARD DRIVES SIDE HOLES. HELP.

You lock it down with big thumbscrews, provided with the case. And no need to post IN CAPS.

The SATA drives are not any diff from ATA ones really, the main benefit is you don't have anything PATA anymore and thusly no fat/flat cables plus it looks slicker and is easier to manage :)

Here's some new pics:

Here's the front door open with dust filters in view, you can remove both filters to clean them out and they do pick up a lot of dust so I'm thankful that the inside of the case is only dusty at an absolute minimal level.

This is the space I have to work with for fitting the HDDs on the bottom bay, you can have 4 drives in here max but 3 if you want to give them breathing space, There is a fan directly on the black bracket you can see which creates a wind tunnel effect on the bottom section of the case.

The GFX card is pretty huge, I miss the days of single socket coolers. Because the GFX card gets so hot my poor WiFi card gets heated too - still works fine though :)

pc_case_PCIbay.jpg

The open space thanks to SATA dvdrw

pc_case_5.5bay.jpg

The new cooler Freezer 7 Pro, enough space to remove the RAM easily unlike some coolers where the fan blocks the closest ram stick.

And finally some connections...random.

Everything.

Nice busy little corner! the screen up that high would make my neck totally :-----------/ though!

Just finished my build about a week ago and its actually a presentable computer unlike my old Pentium III. Sorry some of the pics are low quality don't know what was going on with the camera but i was in a hurry so i will try to get better pictures some other day and some internal ones too. Specs in my signature.

My new Acer AL2051 20" monitor and Halo 2 on it!

The computer itself in a Cooler Master Centurion 5 case QUESTION: Does anyone know why my DVD Drive sits so far back in the case? if i set it more forward the cover just ends up sliding it back when i put it in. any ideas? thanks

    • Apple's AI smart glasses and Vision headset plans reportedly delayed, again

      By AnalystDan · Posted

      Apple are scared of their customers! They have built a brand over the years of "it just works out of the box", but that slows innovation. Samsung's master stroke was the Galaxy Ultra: "Let's cram everything into one handset, make it so stupid only real nerds will love it, some of the features will work, some won't, but the audience will have such a high tolerance they won't care". Apple has no such device and so they are constantly worrying these days about the fallout of creating a new experience that customers might not like. I know it is often cited the reason they don't build a touchscreen Mac Book is they don't want to cannibalise the the iPad market, but I think it's equally cold feet after the criticism Microsoft receive trying to make a touch compatible desktop OS

    • Dell, HP PCs ran into endless reboot, BitLocker recovery loops but Windows 11 isn't to blame

      By grunger106 · Posted

      So, an article that has nothing to do with Windows 11, still gets Windows 11 in the title and a build number as the picture? Dell have a buggy build of Support Assist HP have UEFI settings that need unlocking for the secureboot cert upgrade to take place.
    • I Can't Wrap My Head Around This Number - Google to buy computing from SpaceX at $920 million per month

      By Nick H. · Posted

      What I can't seem to understand is that Google are paying SpaceX? Surely it would be the other way round, with SpaceX needing Google's datacenters etc.? Oh well, this level of money and power is way outside of my comprehension at the best of times.
